Travel Medical Insurance

Question:

I am looking to purchase travel insurance from your company and I am not sure how to fill in the forms. I am a British citizen currently residing in Brazil. In December I will travel back to the UK for two weeks, and then fly to Florida for one week, before returning to Brazil. I need insurance to cover me for the entirety of this trip. The first question on your insurance form asks for my 'home country', which I understand is the country I was born in and is therefore the UK. However, your website says that cover is not provided within your home country. As a non-resident of the UK, I need travel insurance when I visit. Can you advise me whether you can provide the cover I need for my trip? Is my home country now considered Brazil?

Answer:

As a resident of Brazil, Brazil would be considered your "Home Country" as this is where your true fixed permanent residence is. Plans are designed to cover you anywhere outside of your home country. 

You would run a quote in the Travel to USA section of the Insubuy website since a portion of your trip would include travel in the United States.
